Edwin McCain grew up in Greenville loving music, but hoping to become a lawyer. Eventually he started busking in Charleston, one thing led to another and before he knew it, he became one of the biggest hitmakers of 1998 and beyond. He has released 10 studio albums and is currently working on a new one right here in Greenville; He's also gearing up for a nostalgia-filled summer tour with old friends like the band Train.
Now married with three children, he stays busy creating new music and touring, as well as giving back to the community through his involvement in organizations such as the Meyer Center for Special Children and Project Host. At 54 years old, he is able to look forward with emotion and at the same time look back with gratitude. "The best part is the friendships," he says. "I say it all the time; The currency in this life is truly friendships. Everything else comes and goes."
According to a press release, the album was produced by Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann, recorded in Nashville.
"Lee [Brice] has pursued me for over 12 years to make this album," said Edwin McCain. "It changed my way of thinking. I never really enjoyed the process of recording in the studio. I just preferred the energy of playing live. I didn't have the patience and I was never satisfied with the results. But he, Jerrod [Niemann] and [engineer/mixer] Cody [LaBelle] made it a joyful experience for me."
